Great story but the stats explaining gets old

Great story line but explaining the stats gets super old really quick.

By then end of the book it’s 4 minutes of talking about stats. The paperback probably has it in a table but audio sucks for this part.

Somewhat different!

From the beginning to the end, this book is just a little different to most other LitRPG’s that I’ve read! With a well written and plotted storyline, it was throughly enjoyable to listen too. I’ll definitely be back for more!

A great book

This is a great book with a unique idea for progression in the LITRPG style. The MC is well rounded and has a somewhat clear idea of what he wants to do but has doubts along the way. the voices were great and I couldn’t ask for better.
Overall 15/15 give this book a try I’ll definitely be looking for the next in the series.

Pretty Good!

This first book is good, though I dropped the series after the second.

When Earth is integrated into a game-like system of worlds, the titular character is accidentally transported into a high-level dungeon instead of the starting area everyone else is. After a grueling struggle he comes out massively OP and then must work to defend the people around him.

The book is pretty heavy on stats, but ironically they were so thick that audio wasn't too much of a problem - I just skipped 2 or 3 minutes each time the character sheet was read out, super easy.

I occasionally found Randidly's hyper focus on training to get stronger a little boring, but there were enough cool parts to cover for them. Additionally, some character decisions seemed more plot devices than authentic choices that person would make, but again, enough cool things to cover for them. Fights were great, learning about the system was great, the story was interesting.

Randidly does put himself through a lot, basically torturing himself to get stronger - for example, assenting to having acid thrown on himself to build up resistances - and while this wasn't an issue in the first book, for me it did become an issue in the second. It felt like the author was trying to balance out the fast power growth and massively OP stats by saying 'look at the pain and suffering he's gone through to get there,' which ultimately became a bit much.

Still, this first book is worth a listen. By the end of it, you'll know if the second is for you or not.

if you like lit rpg you'll like this

Some other titles of the genre forget that a compelling story is still required, only focusing on the progression. This has a good balance, while not my absolute favourite series I'll be listening to the end.

Very interesting take on a LitRPG

I liked this as a book and an exercise in world building. And the main character having the name Randidly Ghosthound got an amused reaction from me. I did get rapidly annoyed and the name however when in the beginning it feels like it's said 3 times in every sentence and that there is never any attempt whatsoever to shorten his name to Randy or some other nickname. I can give a pass on it for the other characters in the book as they call and refer to him as Ghosthound, but the irritation definitely drops off a few hours in.

Really enjoyed it - highly recommend.

This book was a bit slow to get into and my only complaints would be the female characters are really one dimensional and often act like children. The main character at time does the same. Also towards the end of the book the point of view switches between characters which I personally found didn’t add much to the story.
With all my minor complaints aside, it was a really enjoyable listen. I love the overpowered main character and really enjoyed the world Norte Flood has created.
Will be waiting for the next one eagerly.
